Hi Morgyn,
I do not know how long you have been suffering with this pain, but you
were lucky in a way to have a doctor that cares and is that agressive with
pain treatment. I am really happy that they can find the cause of your
pain. My experience with all of this medical people are oh its all in your
head. They did laps on me, one doc said I had endo, the other say I didn't
have endo, now they think I have cystitis a Bladder problem), and also
another chronic pain problem. My mom just died in March 15 of 2000 and it
is still hard and scary. I am just saying that thank god you have good
docs. Some people are really suffering out here. Take Care and Much love.
I hope to be your friend, Debbie Henze : my e-mail address if you would
like to write me.
